Welcome! Pardon our appearance, we're in the middle of switching from one website to another and things are a bit of a mess!

First things first, if you're here to find our new RSS feed, the link is: http://friendsatthetable.libsyn.com/rss. Adding that to your podcast app of choice will make sure you get our updates. Reach out to us if you need any help!

If you're new here and aren't sure where to start, you can check out this chart to help you figure it out! Once you decide on a season, going to Categories > Episodes on the top right will filter our episodes for you.

This move was a big one for us and wouldn't be possible without our supporters! If you'd like to support us, you can over at friendsatthetable.cash!

In the
early days of the New Archives, the philosopher and historian Krent
Kava wrote that the first sign that Hieron was on its way to
recovery was the return of roadways that connect coast to
heartland, city center to distant university. "There," he wrote,
"Is civilization back again, drawn together by the eternal will of
survivors trying to connect, one to another." Some of the roads, he
reminds us, were highways repaired from the days before, and others
were wholly new--as our times require paths that the past did
not.

It is
noble thought, of course. But we know now that by the time Scholar
Kava wrote those words, Hieron's road system had been rebuilt and
destroyed dozens of times by fledgling--and eventually,
failed--settlements. The truth, friend, is that our roads neither
reflect nor protect any civility we've found. They are merely our
footprints turned to stone and gravel, waiting to be covered and
lost by the coming snow.
